Welcome

These histories have been living inside me for a very, very long time.

Tug of War serves as a metaphor of war, of all our wars. Of Troy, Saigon, Gettysburg, Stalingrad, Somme, Kabul. Of foreign wars and civil wars, Tug of War is, for me, the history of civilization. It’s chilling to watch as history repeats itself, the repetition of themes, of human behavior, of selfish mistakes. We will see that parabola of war and peace, of why wars begin and begin again. Shakespeare weaves a counterpoint between the voices of commoners and And again. We will see the fall towards war, the collapse of moral integrity into royals. In the tension between the common soldiers who often speak in prose, war, and the striving for peace, again and again and again. And one will wonder, and the royals who speak in iambic pentameter, Shakespeare composes an opera. Why don’t we learn from our history? I imagined Tug of War as a musical history cycle, a tapestry between the music and the language, between the actors and the musicians. In their simplicity and Theater is inherently a rebellious art form. Shakespeare wrote histories because humanity, the songs you will hear are written and performed to touch us, to rally he lived in dangerous times, and so he placed these war plays safely back in time. us towards a cause, to comfort us. Shakespeare hid in his histories with “Once upon a time, a long time ago...”—and he got away with it. If Shakespeare were writing now, politicians would despise Tug of War’s first day this spring,Foreign Fire, is suffused with ghosts. The ghosts him. He wielded the weapons of language. Language was his weapon. Theater of the dead echo moments of their lives and together become a convocation renders visual what Shakespeare gave us in his words. Creativity is the enemy of among the living, because war is always haunted in this way. In the fall, Tug of War: force; art, I hope, is in the end the strongest force of all. n Civil Strife is suffused in blood. The annihilation of Britain’s proud conquest of France starts the quarrel between cousins and tips the scale into civil war. Foreign war becomes civil war.

In these histories, family and nation are irrevocably interwined: what happens to one happens to the other. There’s no way ever to separate them. They’re all cousins—even the French are cousins to these English. They all have fundamentally Barbara Gaines the same last name, Plantagenet. And they hate and cherish each other for reasons Artistic Director that have an enormous amount to do with the personal. The personal is political, Carl and Marilynn Thoma Endowed Chair the political is personal. Jockeying for power is what happens at every family dinner table—except that the power struggles at the dinner tables of these dysfunctional families can tear apart entire nations in their wake. Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

The Yard will be Chicago Shakespeare’s third stage. Together with its two existing performance spaces, The Yard will amplify the Theater's artistic vision and community impact. Introducing a new trend in theater architecture to Chicago, the design features a series of mobile “towers” that allow for The Yard to be configured in a variety of shapes and sizes, with audience capacities ranging from 150–850. www.chicagoshakes.com/yard THE JOHN W. AND JEANE M. ROWE INQUIRY AND EXPLORATION SERIES

Four hundred years after his death, Shakespeare continues to raise questions, arguments, and point/ counterpoints among—and sometimes between—scholars and theater practitioners. The same script through different lenses reveals itself in a myriad of ways—leaving us, the readers of text and performance, to think and rethink our own points of view. Such is the legacy that Shakespeare left us. We hope that our program notes enrich, deepen, and sometimes even challenge—our audiences’ experience with the production they witness. TUGS

Four hundred years after his death, Shakespeare continues to raise questions, arguments, and point/ counterpoints among—and sometimes between—scholars and theater practitioners. The same script through different lenses reveals itself in a myriad of ways—leaving us, the readers of text and performance, to think and rethink our own points of view. Such is the legacy that Shakespeare left us. We hope that our program notes enrich, deepen, and sometimes even challenge—our audiences’ experience with the production they witness.

Imperfections Shakespeare values siege scenes as a galvanic visual shorthand for moral complexities. The invaders stand their ground on the stage proper, confronting the city gates (as represented by the rear-stage wall). The city’s beleaguered leaders EDWARD III appear on high, walking the parapets (the stage’s balcony) of their town walls.

HENRY V playwright deliberately makes the tug toward heroism difficult for his audience to resist. In Henry V, Shakespeare meshes Henry’s attainments with his imperfections Yet even in the play’s climactic love scene, the Rorschach’s puzzlements remain so subtly as to make of the warrior-monarch a kind of binary Rorschach test: intact. While wooing Princess Katherine of France, Henry deftly presents himself some generations have viewed him as pure hero, others as heartless tactician. as a disarmingly clumsy Prince Charming: tongue-tied, In Shakespeare’s time, popular tradition had already integrated the two types; it tentative, self-deprecating, solicitous. Yet the threat depicted Henry as a bad-boy prince turned flawless king. His imperfections, by Radiance and of willful conquest, so conspicuous in the encounters this reckoning, lay mainly in his impishness—a trait whose impact Shakespeare between Edward III and his countess, persist in this scene had traced, comically and compellingly, in the prince’s interactions with Falstaff rapacity: the blur too—in the king’s covert confidence, and in the princess’s and with his own father, Henry IV, throughout the two plays of Henry IV (not between the growing awareness that she is the already-granted included in Tug of War) that led up to this one. At the start of Henry V, two high bargaining chip in a deal just done between her father and putatively pious clergymen celebrate the king’s two suffuses and her future husband. This schizoid blend reformation as a done deal. the whole play. Radiance and rapacity: the blur between the two suffuses But another deal is pending. For Shakespeare’s of piety and property the whole play. Shakespeare’s Chorus reappears at intervals, praising to the skies audience, Henry V’s golden reputation remained that “star of England,” that “mirror of all Christian kings” whose name the play is soon mirrored grounded in the fact that he, to a greater extent than takes as title, and whose triumphs it depicts hypnotically. But for Shakespeare, any previous English king including Edward, had in the language of counterpoint is all in all. In the down-to-earth scenes he dovetails with the managed by battle to clinch his claims to France. Yet Chorus’s exaltations, he calls this monarch’s stardom into constant question. the king himself. here, as in Edward III, Shakespeare anatomizes the brokerage that leads to war. The clergymen agree to endorse, with all their Church’s moral heft, their king’s right to the French crown—as long as the king will grant the Church perpetual possession of rich real THE FIRST PART OF HENRY VI estate. This schizoid blend of piety and property is soon mirrored in the language Imperfection, at its Latin roots (“not-thoroughly-made”), means incompletion; to of the king himself. When the now-confident Henry describes the coming war in be imperfect is to be unfulfilled. Nowhere in all his works does Shakespeare offer France as if it were a deadly game of tennis, Shakespeare imbues his speech with a more achingly attentive exploration of incompletion than in the aptly named a radically uneasy mix of boyish charm and killer instinct. Henry VI, Part One. In the play’s great siege scenes, Shakespeare reenacts this doubleness. Standing The play opens with an untimely funeral: Henry V has died, aged 35, fighting at the gates of Harfleur, Henry threatens the already shattered townspeople follow-up battles in France; though he had clinched his claim to the French with utter destruction; his words encompass the most horrific account of war’s crown, he never in the end got a chance to wear it. By play’s end, two other depradations, its human costs, in all of Shakespeare. Yet in speeches at this phenomenally gifted, fiercely devoted young warriors, each in their way a same site and elsewhere, Henry insists on the intrinsic gentleness of his men mirror-image of the lost king, will see their lives cut shorter still than his. The play so movingly, and describes their conduct in battle so dazzlingly, that even deliberately devours its young. pacificists within earshot might feel, however fleetingly, the impulse to join up. Henry urges his listeners to become, first, actors (they must “imitate the And yet the least complete, most stunted life of all may be that of the title character— actions of the tiger”); and, much later, storytellers, recounting their tales to even though he still has two more plays to go. Henry VI was nine months old when his their grandchildren by the family fireplace. The king is, in short, admonishing his father died. He is of course absent from the opening funeral where his uncles, reeling followers to do in their lives the things—acting, storytelling—that Shakespeare at the loss of their loved king, receive news of further losses still: their hold on France is and his company are doing here and now onstage. At such moments, the rapidly unraveling. The funeral devolves into an orgy of recrimination, each uncle blaming others for what’s gone wrong.

Hence our sense of the new king’s incompletion. By the time he makes his first But he is also asking something more, posing a question central to all theater. On appearance, strikingly late in the play, he seems at times to be drowning in a sea of stage as in life, flaws abound. If all humans display imperfections (and they do), then inimically self-interested mentors: uncles who seek to deploy him in their cutting actors are doomed to do so doubly: imperfect not only in their life but in their art— contests with each other. The ways he handles this predicament, here and later for what mortal can possibly achieve perfection in so profound and precarious an on, will become central to our assessment of his character and kingship. For the enterprise? Part of the theater’s perfection as a medium moment, though, he is living in a near-Carrollian inverso-sphere. This king does not must consist in its actors’ capacities to register human rule; he is ruled. If all humans display imperfections, with empathic accuracy, in real time.

Topsy-turvydom marks other moments too. In this play, the siege scenes unfold imperfections Amid that alchemy, “your thoughts” count for much. not as paralysis but with an almost giddy hyper-kinesis, as city of Orleans changes (and they do), then “Think this through with me,” the Grateful Dead long hands, between the military genius Joan of Arc and the venerable soldier John sang in their glorious communal anthem “Uncle John’s Talbot, again and again in rapid-fire succession. The siege becomes a see-saw; for actors are doomed Band.” Shakespeare, in effect, is asking that we do the the audience the ride is fast, bumpy, and by turns funny and tragic. to do so doubly same. And so are all the characters—kings, queens, countesses, commoners, and suffering soldiers—of his Gender too turns upside down this time round. The besiegers in this play are for the history plays, now long dead but implicitly grateful for most part not strutting men, but skilled French women. Joan takes possession of the these few hours’ resurrection, during which they and we can think through—and parapets with a theatrical electrifying wit and swagger. (Her chosen sobriquet, “Joan perhaps think past—the imperfections that shape our histories. n la Pucelle”—Joan the Virgin—captures her complexity; to English ears, “pucelle” sounded very close to “puzel”: whore.) The Countess of Orleans deals in tactics more subtly psychological; Shakespeare portrays her as a medieval Circe. (Try thinking of her scene with Talbot as Edward-and-his-countess played out in reverse). As for Princess Margaret, who comes on late but unforgettable, her motives can at times feel as fathomless as her cunning is profound. She will figure formidably in four whole plays (we’ll see the other three next fall); Shakespeare makes her, in this PRODUCERS’ GUILD AT respect, the longest-lived character Shakespeare created.
